Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Before even considering a libre distro I would test if your hardware will run without proprietary firmware and drivers. On my laptop, for example, running libre is impossible, for one because of the Broadcom WLAN adapter, but also because the free radeon driver overheats my CPU.

The pros of a libre distribution? You are only running free software.
The cons? You are only running free software, limiting yourself to sometimes inferior solutions for ideological reasons.

Even if you did not have overheating issues with the radeon driver, that driver also uses proprietary firmware.

Well, even Debian did not detect my wifi card, and some of the other did not detect my wifi, ethernet. I think in a real world this is really not working out.

There is only one reason why Debian is not considered a libre distro: Because the FSF think they make it to easy to install closed and proprietary software using their non-free repository. if you don't activate the non-free repository in your configuration Debian is basically a libre distribution.
If you want to use your wifi, look at the Debian Wiki how to install the drivers for it, most of the time it involves activating the non-free repo.

Actually I did find a zip file with all the non-free firmwares for wifi devices and used it that way. One odd thing was that when probing for ethernet and wifi, the system became unresponsive and took forever to come back. Asked me to install the firmware and I did and yet again was darn slow searching for it on the usb drive. Overall took 45 min to install it with the net install CD. Just too much hasle.
